Animals are great.
Pet care experience
I'm a yoga teacher and physical therapy student. I started pet sitting for extra cash when I was working full time, and now use my income to help pay for school. I've always been an animal lover, and grew up with both dogs and cats in my house. I don't currently have a life that supports full time dog-parenting, but I do love dog sitting when I can. There's nothing like coming home to a wagging tail and a slobbery tongue. I'm happy to lay low with your pet or go on outdoor adventures. My schedule fluctuates with school so my availability is not always up to date on my calendar. Let me know if you have questions! Can't wait to meet your fur babies.
Reviews
Natalie took care of our two dogs and cat while we were out of the country for a week. She did an amazing job with our two somewhat anxious dogs. So much so, that my neighbor even texted me during the week to tell me that our dogs actually looked happy! I know that all the animals had a good time with Natalie during the week and would absolutely ask her to watch our animals again.
Natalie is an excellent and caring dog-sitter. She has taken care of 2 high-energy dogs in my home over weekends when we were away. I have the utmost confidence in her abilities and attitude, and trust her 100%. I have known Natalie for years now and recommend her highly! (The dogs like her too)
We can't say enough kind words about Natalie and how much we appreciate her tender and attentive care of our male Tabby cat Cecil. Our Cecil is a talker, occasionally needy, (okay, needy more than not) and he runs the show around here so finding someone who we can trust was important to us. Also, lets be frank, you're allowing someone into your home and it was great relief to have someone who we could trust come into our building, into our home and take care of a dear family member, Cecil! We don't want to overly gloat about Natalie--but it's easy to heap praise when you get 100% of what you were hoping for with an extra 10% tossed in just because that's the type of person you are. Highly recommended. 5 out of 5. -Mike and Julianne
Cecil can be get very scared by strangers. He does not feel that way about Natalie. She is very sweet with him. She stays at the house while we are away and is very respectful of our space.

Information Natalie R. would like to know about your pet
My clients' have dogs in all shapes and personalities. From the tiny and anxious to the big and mellow. I love all dogs for their excitement and their cuddles.
A typical day
My dog-sitting style depends on the pup. I love to take dogs on walks. Unless the dog is really good off-leash. I like to keep dogs on leash when they are newer to me. I do love the douglass dog park and fort funston, and I am happy to take dogs there that I know will respond to my calls.
